KR1 Investor Evening

Keld and George presenting to the ADVFN London audience

We held a KR1 investor evening together with ADVFN in the City of London on November 11th to meet our investors, prospective shareholders and update them with a KR1 presentation. It was a full house with around 50 investors and analysts, who were fully engaged with the presentation and especially the Q&A session that followed. The full KR1 ADVFN Investor Event YouTube video including the Q&A can be found below.

We also updated our NEX Exchange video profile this month, see below.
